Join us for the Bluegrass Community Bankers Association's Annual Conference, August 23-25, 2026, at the Marriott Griffin Gate Resort & Spa in Lexington, KY. This year's conference theme, "Banking on Main Street," reflects our commitment to honoring the essential role community banks play in the lives of Kentucky families, farms, and local businesses — serving our neighbors with local decision-making, personal relationships, and deep roots in the communities we call home.

​

As we gather in Lexington, Kentucky, the heart of the Bluegrass region, we will explore how community banking continues to be the backbone of Main Street — providing the kind of personalized service and local investment that no national institution can replicate. The Annual Conference will feature insightful keynote speakers, engaging breakout sessions, and networking opportunities with fellow bankers and industry leaders from across the Commonwealth.

​

Our program will include:

​

• Keynote addresses from elected and state officials and experts in community banking, economic development, and financial innovation

• Interactive sessions focused on regulatory updates, best practices, and the unique challenges and opportunities facing community banks today

• Networking opportunities with peers and prominent figures in the banking industry

Join us as we celebrate what makes community banking irreplaceable — the people, the places, and the Main Streets we proudly serve. Together, we will continue to strengthen community banking across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
